Description
1798 B-3, BB-94 Early Dollar, XF45
Double Struck With Rotation
1798 $1 Large Eagle, Knob 9, 4 Vertical Lines, B-3, BB-94, R.5
-- Double Struck With Rotation -- XF45 NGC. Bowers Die State
III, with a delicate crack from the obverse border between stars 2
and 3. This piece is double struck and the coin rotated slightly
between those two strikes, yielding faint doubled impressions on
both sides, and the edge lettering is blundered with some
overlapping words, although the blundered edge is unrelated to the
double strike. As a variety, B-3, BB-94 is scarce and the majority
of survivors, like this example, fall in the VF to XF grade range.
At least two similar examples of this die marriage are double
struck. The Bowers-Borckardt Notable Specimens records an XF45 NGC
example from the Spies Collection (Stack's, 12/1974) that is double
struck, although that is a different coin from the present example
that has light silver surfaces, charcoal toning along the borders,
and several short scratches such as those at R and T of LIBERTY.
However, the strike characteristics trump the surface
imperfections.Ex: Jonathan Kern (1/1994).
From Professor Robert M. Stark's Yolanda Collection.
